Nikolay Prokopenko was born, grew up and became an artist in the Ukraine. In his paintings - soaked sensitive soul truly Ukrainian consonant combination of colors, a special musicality, smoothness, Razdolnoye lines and shapes. Singing Ukraine easy, almost imperceptibly, conclusions DIT his pure melody on canvas Wizard. She has its own unique, instantly recognizable face - almost all the paintings meet this gullible, naive expansion eyebrows, big eyes mysterious, quiet dignity of a confident man. With a new incarnation azhdym easier appears that image is not owned by anyone specifically - no mother, no wife or girlfriend - only eternity, a heightened vision of the soul.

Volatile beasts - invisible, a friendly reminder: all that you see - only remained novivsheesya "perfect moment" eternity is about to spread her wings and fly away ... So - watch, enjoy, without fear disappear for ever from this beauty.

They - the movement of life, its mysterious game, its carelessness, easy and fun. In fact, try not to smile, looking, for example, "Fisher", in her tiny barkasik and its rich catch. A ILC her, open, clear, the whole figure and movement of hands - speak for themselves: if a fisherwoman out to sea, the fish instantly pops out of the water with his mouth open, and begs to take her on board. "Here - bulls, here - flounder. No longer together ... "
Master gives a picture of the world as the birds released from a cage: radiant joy flight - and complete helplessness ... "What am I going to take care of them? They - their own destiny. As there will be. Something will be lost, will be lost, burned, finally ... But - and remains something? I wish I knew how to solve life: what stops that keep? ..
